This publication is an update of EPA's rapid bioassessment methodology. It replaces EPA Publication 604, Rapid Bioassessment of Victorian Streams: The approach and methods of the EPA. This new edition provides more detailed and comprehensive guidance on the use and application of the rapid bioassessment method and the recommended interpretive tools for assessing the condition of rivers and streams. This guideline must be followed wherever rapid bioassessment is undertaken for purposes required by the Environment Protection Act 1970, and any State and Federal programs which use aquatic macroinvertebrates as biotic indicators. This guideline will also be invaluable to any individual, corporation or agency interested in using the method for assessing river health.
Rapid Bioassessment Methodology for Rivers and Streams can be obtained from the EPA Victoria at the above URL.
